Thermal Printer Mechanisms
Compact, reliable low voltage thermal printer mechanisms are ideal for portable printing, offering low power consumption for extended battery life in a small footprint.
The new low voltage LTPD and CAPD series address the need for smaller, faster, and more reliable mobile devices with improved design flexibility and print performance.
The CAPM series is perfect for high-performance embedded printing, featuring 300 mm/second print speed, up to 200 km service life, and options for outdoor ticket printing, available in EZ-OP and auto-loading designs.
Applications
Thermal printers and thermal print mechanisms are small, light and consume little power, making them ideal for portable and retail applications. Commercial applications of thermal printers include petrol station pump receipts, information kiosks, point-of-sale systems, voucher printers, ticket machines, hospital cardiac monitors and more.

Case Study: Thermal Print Mechanism and Chip for Temperature Monitoring Units
Our client provides temperature monitoring units for refrigerated vehicles. These compact devices take temperature readings at regular intervals throughout the journey and produce a log of the temperatures alongside the time of each reading. Whether the delivery is a batch of prawn sandwiches, medical vaccines, or cut flowers, this information not only gives the receiver piece-of-mind that the goods have arrived in perfect condition, but also satisfies the legislation that the transport industry has to conform to.
